The Nuggets traded for swingman James White on Tuesday, sending the rights to forward Axel Hervelle, a 2005 draft pick, to the Rockets.

White has averaged 5.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 10 career games with the Spurs and Rockets.  He posted 25.9 points per game in the D-League last season before being called up by the Rockets.

Hervelle has yet to appear in an NBA game, playing in Spain last season.
